A bunch of the dependencies went in through the 2.11.1 stable updates:

$ git log --oneline hw/ppc/spapr_caps.c
eab4b51 target/ppc/spapr_caps: Add new tristate cap safe_indirect_branch
d7aa3d0 target/ppc/spapr_caps: Add new tristate cap safe_bounds_check
3dc1227 target/ppc/spapr_caps: Add new tristate cap safe_cache
e9a8747 target/ppc/spapr_caps: Add support for tristate spapr_capabilities
43a29f0 target/ppc/spapr_caps: Add macro to generate spapr_caps migration vmstate
6a47136 hw/ppc/spapr_caps: Rework spapr_caps to use uint8 internal representation
e4f4fa0 spapr: Handle Decimal Floating Point (DFP) as an optional capability
ff6f7e1 spapr: Handle VMX/VSX presence as an spapr capability flag
804e5ea spapr: Validate capabilities on migration
9070f40 spapr: Treat Hardware Transactional Memory (HTM) as an optional capability
78a38cd spapr: Capabilities infrastructure

There we ensured that all is in 2.11 and not the 2.12 type.
We need to ensure the new changes are doing the same here.
